Nearly 1,500 Entergy customers in New Orleans without power

Though the winter storm that knocked out power to thousands of customers across north Louisiana largely spared the southern part of the state, nearly 1,500 Entergy New Orleans customers were without power Monday morning.

According to Entergy’s outage map, the outages were concentrated in the St. Roch neighborhood between Elysian Fields Avenue, Interstate 10, St. Bernard Avenue and N. Broad. 

No estimated time for restoration was given.

Elsewhere around the metro area outages were minimal. According to Entergy, 111 customers in Jefferson Parish were without power. In St. Tammany, 27 customers were in the dark, according to Cleco.

Elsewhere in the state, outages were far more widespread. According poweroutages.us, more than 127,000 Louisiana households were without power Monday. Ouachita Parish, which includes the city of Monroe in northeast Louisiana, was the hardest hit with more than 48,000 outages, followed by DeSoto Parish with nearly 10,000 outages and Sabine Parish, with more than 8,000 outages.
